- I'm planning to catch up on a shit load of sleep.

- I also need to read some background info on the english AOS for next year, so that i don't look like an idiot as usual.

- I need some summer clothes *looks out window and sees rain* :S

- Do maths.. Reverse the effects of an entire year of doing NO work whatsoever.. so basically, teach myself the entire prelim 2 unit mathematics course. !!!

- I have a few gigs to go to

- 2 friend's b'day day out (joined paarty kind of thing) *remembers to buy present!!*

That shouldn't be too hard... I learnt the whole course in 3 weeks... so revising it shouldn't be that hard.

I've made a holiday to do list. Here it is:

SCHOOLing:
- Sort out books. Have filing system in room.
- Go to officeworks and buy new stuff.
- Decide on which study guides/books i want to buy and buy them.
- Read English book (crap.)
- Read lots of books, increase vocabulary, overall study english.
- FIX SCHOOL SHOE.

AROUND THE HOUSE:
- Clean room
- Take down posters and change walls.
- Colour code closet and have some type of system. (My closet is so confusing)

INTERNET:
- Spend like a whole day downloading, checking out music and updating my music.
- Catch up on series: 90210, One tree hill, How i met your mother, gossip girl,
- Own everyone on facebook. Have like 3 million dollars (i've gone mad with power)
- Watch movies (definitely maybe, the jane austen book club, lars and the real girl,
Juno,Jumper,the kite runner, meet the spartans,the other boleyn girl)

FUN:
- Skateboard again.(well first off, get superglue for my skateboard. And a helmet. And knee and elbow pads.)
- DRUM. Drum a song. Or at least, get better at drumming.
- Guitar. Learn ONE song.

edit: buy ds.

Maths isn't my strong point, so I think i'll go through my text book and do heaps of exercises for each chapter/area.

When I fianlly get my texts for English I'll read them whenever I get the chance to.

For Psychology I will go through my notes from this year and have a look through the textbook for next year.

For Italian I will try to converse with my dad if he is up for it. Will also go through cue cards teacher gave us to practise questions.


Will also:
- catch up on sleep. waking up at 10.30-11 each day sounds good
- tidy room and organise desk. and maintain it
- go out with friends when we are all free
- earn mulah and try to save it
- exercise
- STATIONERY SHOPPING!!!!!!
- figure out what uni course (if any) i'd like to do. although i have some idea, still not 100% sure.

Yeah same here!
I'm a pen and exercise book freak - I hate writing with dodgy pens, they have to be the right smoothness, right tip sharpness... I guess that's why people say I write like a girl :p

Hmmm, it's pretty much the same here. Except, I'm not quite pedantic about it being the right smoothness or tip sharpness. :p

I'm somewhat pedantic about which pens I buy (which doesn't carry on into my handwriting - I'm the worst handwriter in my year). I just got a Fisher Space Pen the other day and am very much looking forward to using it in Year 12.

I'm not going to buy text books for Year 12 - my school's got pretty good text books, and if I need anything - I'll just scab them off a library.

Re: This October Holidays....

if you feel that you should be studying then study, usually a subject that your not strong in so you can feel a bit more confident when you head back soon.
